Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horoscope Fish" data-source="post: 556645" data-attributes="member: 13090">6000 X 4000 pixels is 24 megapixels total whether we're talking JPG or raw file; which is full resolution for the D7200. The raw file *should* be considerably larger than the JPG if you look at file-size in megabytes. The raw file should be *about* 24-25MB, for instance, while the JPG version of the same photo I would expect to be somewhere around 5MB. Those last two numbers would vary depending on the individual shot, however; what I'm trying to put across is that the raw file should be several times larger than the JPG, even if not exactly five times larger etc. while at the same time being 24 megapixels. Hope I'm making sense here...EDIT: Okay, having re-read your post a few times I would have to say the embedded JPG is full resolution: 24MP and roughly 6MB in file-size; this is roughly the file-size I would expect for a 24MP JPG image. The raw file is also full resolution (obviously) at 24MP and has a file-size of 24.1MB. This is also about what I would expect.What leaves me a little confused is you say your JPG's are showing as being the same file-size, in megabytes, as your raw files, roughly 24MB... Both the JPG and the raw file should measure 24 megapixels, but the JPG should have a much smaller file-size (6MB is about right). So I'm confused if your JPG's are showing as being 6MB or 24MB.</blockquote>
